Our tutors
Every tutor goes through a rigorous screening process: degree and qualification checks, a one-to-one interview with our academic team, and an assessment of their teaching experience. Only qualified and motivated educators join our network. Our IB tutors are IB graduates and subject experts with an average score of 43 points.
Our academic team selects the tutor best suited to your child's profile and needs — subject, programme, level, learning style, and location. We share their detailed profile before the first lesson, and you are free to request a change if it's not a good fit.
